Wedding fish and chip van in Little Chelsea, cooked to order

Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For wedding after-parties and vow renewals and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.

In Little Chelsea, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

What the van needs

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

As a London location, Little Chelsea is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

From the hatch

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What you get with us

  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • All the chip-shop extras

Little Chelsea questions

Can the van park in Burton’s Court?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

Do you have allergen information?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

What’s on the menu?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

Do you cover Little Chelsea?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Little Chelsea. To check your date, use our quote form.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How the day works

The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For a summer wedding in Little Chelsea, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Planning for dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Put bins near the van
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Confirm the van can park at the venue
  • Name a friend or coordinator as our contact

If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.

Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
